摘要：

We have examined bursting processes observed in turbulent channel flow by direct numerical simulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a minimal flow unit. A traveling wave solution (TWS) is obtained by a shooting method. The TWS corresponds to a saddle point in a two-dimensional phase space. A low-dimensional dynamics confined to the near-wall region is proposed in terms of the TWS and its manifolds. The characteristics of the coherent structures constituting the TWS are investigated dynamically and statistically in detail. The dynamics well describes an elementary process of intermittent turbulent regeneration in wall turbulence.
